Pastors for Peace Caravan will Arrive in Texas.

CUBA, July 14th, 2011.- More than 100 members of the 22nd Pastors for Peace Friendshipment Caravan to Cuba will meet in Texas, the United States, this coming weekend after visiting over 130 U.S. and Canadian cities gathering humanitarian materials for the Caribbean nation.

“Without requesting any license from the Government of the United States, and collectively challenging the blockade and travel restrictions, we will travel from Texas to Cuba through Mexico,” announced Pastors for Peace on its webpage.

The Pastors for Peace Friendshipment Caravan is a project of the Interreligious Foundation for Community Organization (IFCO) with thousands of supporters in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

This group has previously used fasts, hunger strikes and peaceful non-violent mass mobilizations to successfully challenge U.S. government attempts to confiscate vehicles and humanitarian aid bound for Cuba.

This year, the group also pays tribute to late Rev. Lucius Walker, Jr., the founding director of IFCO/Pastors for Peace, who was the leader of the caravans for 20 years and who died in September 2010. (Cubaminrex-ACN-RHC)
